Savers remains Kansas booster
Sports Writer
By GARY BEDORE
Some night KU head coach Bud Moore ought to give Gale Sayers a surprise phone call.
They would have a lot to talk about.
Both Sayers and Moore are trying to build young football teams into winners, but are doing it at schools 360 miles away. The University of Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, and is trying to turn his team into contenders in the Missouri State.
He said in a recent telephone interview that SIU's football team resembled KU's in some ways.
He took the job at SUI a year and a half ago after working for KU as an assistant athletic director.
"WE ARE DEFINITELY similar to Kansas," Sayers said. "We are 3-6, but have some good, young players. We're trying to build interest in football and are on the right track with our football program, but we still have a long way to go."
Sayers said that KU's young football plovers would need time to develop.
KU has quality athletes," Sayers said. "But it will take time for the young players to get used to playing." The players have to get used to playing in the Big Eight conference."
He said that the KU football program had many things going for it. In almost three years under Moore, KU has compiled a 16-14 record.
"THEIR IS NO QUESTION KU can compete in the Big Eight." Sayers said. "It is an outstanding university with great facilities and is located in a great place, has everything a young man can ask for. It is quality players. Kansas can win it."
"But everybody needs to be involved, and that means everybody: Faculty, alumni and students. That's the best way to get everyone on an overall effort to go good athletes."
While at KU, Sayers did some recruiting and it paid off. Sayers made a trip to Texas to visit Norris Banks, KU's fullback, and Banks said that Sayers' visit was one of the reasons he came to KU.
Sayers said he continued to do recruiting work but in an indirect manner.
"I DON'T GO out into the home," he said, "but I don't feel that I'm so far removed from my playing days that I can't help a young man.
"I meet every man who comes to campus. I've been through it all and feel I can answer their questions. I have students listen to me."

He also did some fund-raising for KU, and said he had started a similar program at SIU.
"Before I came here (SIU) nobody tried to promote the university," Sayers said. "Nobody talked to people about getting funds, but now we're expanding."
"We will be competitive here; it may take three or four years, but we'll be competitive."
The Kansas Comet, who ranks third in KU career running yardage with 267 yards, recently was elected to the Professional Football Hall of Fame for his brilliant career with the Chicago Bears. He said he would consider returning to the pros in a management position.
"I'm very happy at the college level; it has more color than professional football," he said. "But if the right opportunity came along and I felt it would help Gale Sayers grow as a person, then I'd take it."

Rain forces Jayhawks indoors
Rain and injuries, not to mention Nebraska, left KU coach Bud Moore concerned following yesterday's workout in Allen Field House.
"We worked indoors because of the rain and that, along with our injuries, is certainly hampering our preparations for Nebraska." Moore said.
The injury list, already sizeable after the Kansas State game Saturday, grew with the injuries suffered by junior varity players in their game Monday against the Wildcats.
"because we don't have enough depth."

Volleyball team falls to K-State
The KU volleyball team finished its conference season Monday night, dropping a match to Kansas in Manhattan. The loss gave the Jayhawks a second place finish in the Kansas Conference. K-State finished first.
The Wildcats have won four of the five matches the teams have played this year. Both teams have been given berths in the 19 game series, which begins Nov. 19 in Grand Forks, N.D.
The Jayhawks lost the best three out of five game match in straight games, 10-15, 11-15 and 10-15. KU coach Bock Stancil won the loss against KU's yearlong nemesis, inconsistency.
Stanlift has one more outing in which to get his team ready for the regional tournament. The team will be in Lincoln, Neb. at the University of the University of Nebraska Invitational.
Cowboys await final hearing
"We played them tough most of the way through every game," he said. "We had two of the games tied at 10-10 and the other at 11-11, so we made mistakes and let them go on to win."
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma State goes before the National College Athletic Association Council Jam. 8 in final hearing on possible athletic probation.
Oklahoma State reportedly was on the verge of receiving a two-year probation, a hearing to be held by the state, stretch, a ban on television or bowl appearances and punishment for football players Mike Edwards and Jim Clark at a scheduled hearing in Kansas City last

Moore also announced that freshman David Verser has moved ahead of Mark VicenDEs at split end. VicenDEs was moved to split end from quarterback three weeks ago and has not caught a pass this season.
KU's scheduled junior varsity football game Friday against Nebraska has been canceled, head coach Bud Moore announced last night.
'Hawks cancel JV game
Moore said the game had been canceled because, several players were hurt in the incident.
